The measurement of the timing of the Hepatitis B0 vaccination is indeed based on the date of birth and the immunization date stated on the immunization card. If the vaccination was given on the same day as the birth, it is categorized as '0 days (at birth)'. If the vaccination was given any day after the birth, it is categorized as 'more than 1 day after birth'. This is based on the data recorded from the immunization card during the survey. If the card was not available, the mother was asked to recall the timing of the vaccination. The standard for this measurement is based on the World Health Organization's recommendation for the Hepatitis B birth dose to be given as soon as possible after birth, preferably within 24 hours.
